JavaScript: The Language

Description

JavaScript has become one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, but has also unfortunately remained one of the most misunderstood programming languages. This session gives a thorough review of the core ideas in the JavaScript language, including topics such as objects, conversions, prototypal inheritance, and closures, as well as popular design patterns. We make note of recent additions in ECMAScript 5, and finish up with a look at some of the future directions of the JavaScript language. Whether you are new to JavaScript, or already a seasoned JavaScript developer, this session is your opportunity to get a deep and focused understanding of the JavaScript language.
